Muddy-watergate prompts protest in Notts village

'Mudgate continues' says a councillor as trucks continue to traipse dirt through Huthwaite.

Protesters have vowed to come out in demonstration against lorries trailing mud through their Ashfield village

Residents in Huthwaite thought they had won a battle to clean up their town after a fortnight of misery caused by lorries trawling mud through the streets, spraying dirt on houses, cars and causing some slip in the road.

The mud is caused by a convoy of trucks carrying material onto Brierley Forest Golf Club, and after petitioning by local councillors for the gold club to employ a wheel washer, councillor Lee Anderson says no such washer has been installed, and the 'mudgate' has continued.

He is now rallying residents to join a protest outside the gold curse to block the lorries in their path.

Coun Anderson said: "Enough is enough. We said we would wait and see if the club put in the wheel washers and we gave them a chance, but nothing has changed.

"It turns out there is no wheel wash there at all so now it is the time for action. I will be organising a residents demo for the coming week."

The owner of Brierley Forest Gold Club has been approached for comment but is yet to respond.
